I blame the handhelds.

Since you blame the handhelds I'll assume they don't count.

Original Japanese release years:

LoZ: 1986

AoL: 1987 (1 year)

ALttP: 1991 (4 years)

OoT: 1998 (7 years)

MM: 2000 (2 years)

TWW: 2002 (2 years)

TP: 2006 (4 years)

SS: 2011 (5 years)


So, sure, the wait for SS has been the longest since OoT, but its hardly the longest wait in the series. If you go ahead and include the handhelds (which, really, are typically just as full content wise as the console releases minus the graphical power) than Zelda has never been more prevalent.
